Prices are quoted by sales only, and the HTTP API publishes no platform-wide rate limit. A 60-day trial needs no card.\n\n**Fabric.** Public OpenAPI files for about 980 operations, llms.txt, client credentials with role-limited system apps, and a published 99.9 per cent SLA. Access needs a sales contract, with no public price or self-serve trial. The commerce docs are labelled legacy, the newest release notes date from July 2025, and no status page was found.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### commercetools\n\n1. Use the auth and API hosts for the project's region, such as auth.europe-west1.gcp.commercetools.com and api.europe-west1.gcp.commercetools.com. There are five regions\n2. Send the resource's current `version` with every update or delete. On 409 ConcurrentModification, re-read the resource and retry only if the change is still needed\n3. Retry 502 and 503 with exponential backoff from 200 ms, honour Retry-After, and check Content-Type before parsing an error body\n4. For MCP, ask for an API Client scoped to `mcp:{projectKey}:{mcpServerKey}` and a server limited to the tools the task needs, not `all`\n5. Keep page size at or under 500 and offset at or under 10,000. Product Search returns at most 100 per request\n\n### Fabric\n\n1. Get the tenant ID and a System App client ID and secret from the merchant's Copilot admin, with the narrowest role the task needs\n2. Request a new system token from {authURL}/v1/token every 10 minutes, since system apps receive no refresh token\n3. Send x-fabric-tenant-id on every call, and x-fabric-channel-id where the merchant sells in more than one channel\n4. Page order searches with offset and limit, because the default response returns 10 orders\n5. Read errorCode and context.endpoint in Orders and Inventory errors, and check for duplicates before retrying a write\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, commercetools or Fabric?\n\ncommercetools scores 71.3 (BB) on agent readiness against Fabric's 43.7 (E), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do commercetools and Fabric need an API key?\n\nBoth use an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call commercetools and Fabric without installing anything?\n\nYes. commercetools has a hosted endpoint at https://api.{region}.commercetools.com/{projectKey} and Fabric at https://api.fabric.inc/v3.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/commercetools-vs-fabric.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/commercetools-vs-fabric.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"commercetools\", \"b\": \"fabric\"}`.
